"Hell" lyrics

"Hell"

Here they sit talking rot
Saddam Hussein and Pol Pot
Mao Tse Tung bares his gnashers
At Idi Amin's and Emperor Bokassa's
There he is, Joseph Stalin
Thick as thieves with that old bore Lenin
Look at the two of them putting the boot in
Ranting and raving and bitching 'bout Putin

Hell, hello
It's hell in here
Evil is a bore with a big idea
Hell, hello
What's not to fear?
Love death not life
And make it hell in here

It's a real no brainer, the blood just oozes
When Vlad the Impaler meets the Ceaucescus
It's getting mighty crowded and hot as wasabi
But they'll have to make room for Robert Mugabe
Caligula spits stale panini
At Adolf Hitler and Mussolini
Napoleon casts a withering sneer
At Kim Il-Sung from North Korea

Hell, hello
It's hell in here
Evil is a bore with a big idea
Hell, hello
What's not to fear?
Evil is a bore
Which makes it hell in here

Serial killers, begging your pardon
Are beyond the pale and so's Osama Bin Laden
Heinrich Himmler's doing his best
To avoid the attentions of Fred West
Ivan the Terrible isn't terribly nice
When Gilles de Rais seeks his advice

Hell, hello
What's not to fear?
Evil is a bore
Which makes it hell in here
It's hell in here...

Hell, hello
The big idea
Love death not life
And make it hell in here
It's hell in here...
